Nikki Haley’s new book to reveal ‘behind-the-scenes negotiations’ that shaped her time in Trump administration

New book to detail 'the consequential actions, decisions, confrontations, and behind-the-scenes negotiations that shaped national and world events'

Nikki Haley, the former United Nations ambassador and South Carolina governor, has a book deal.

St Martin’s Press announced Wednesday that Haley’s book, currently untitled, will come out this fall. According to the publisher, the 47-year-old will write about her experiences as ambassador in 2017 and 2018, and her six years before that as governor, sharing “the consequential actions, decisions, confrontations, and behind-the-scenes negotiations that shaped national and world events.

Ms Haley also will offer “deeply personal” insights and the “challenges” she faced as a woman during her time in government.

“I was blessed to serve during some momentous times as governor of South Carolina and US ambassador to the United Nations,” Ms Haley, a Republican who has often been mentioned as a possible future candidate for president, said in a statement.

“There were tragedies and triumphs, but through it all my love for America has only grown. My hope with this book is to give people a unique window into recent history and inspire us toward a better future,” she added.

Financial terms for her book were not disclosed. Ms Haley was represented by Washington attorney Robert Barnett, whose other clients have included Barack Obama and Mitch McConnell.

Ms Haley has written a previous book, Can’t Is Not An Option, which came out in 2012.

Numerous former Trump administration officials, from James Comey to Omarosa Manigault Newman, have written best-sellers. Former National Security Adviser HR McMaster has a book scheduled for 2020.

Often seen as an independent force within the Trump administration, Ms Haley was once one of Trump’s toughest Republican critics.

As ambassador, she differed notably at times from the president’s more isolationist views, but she was one of the few top officials to depart amicably, and voluntarily. With Mr Trump beside her in the Oval Office and telling her she had done a “fantastic job,” she announced last October she was stepping down at the end of 2018 because “it’s good to rotate in other people who can put that same energy and power into it.”
